Auto or Manual??

[HK1837]

Drive the A750F auto before you decide. I drove both diesel and petrol manual Hilux (same as Prado) and hated both. After being used to V8 manuals, to me they were the pits. I was forever changing gears just to drive it normally. Reversing a trailer in normal 2WD would be awful too. I tried the auto versions and the V6 with the A750F was awesome and that is what I bought. The Prado has the same box on both petrol and diesel so you are lucky to have the choice! In the Hilux I think the V6 auto has more rated torque than the manual, maybe this is something to do with the awful dual mass flywheels in them. I was also warned off a manual dual cab 4x4 by a person high up in the service area of that company in NSW due to the fact that the clutches are not up to reversing at even 2/3 of their rated towing load. It wasn't Toyota but Toyota have their fair share of warranty issues with clutches as well.

My next question is...
I'm on holidays, why can't I catch any fish?

I find that you have put some lines in to have a chance to catch fish and put bait on the hook . Unless you are fishing for burra then it depends on the water temp ,the moon ,the sun ,the lure ,the ability of the fisherman,the ability of the boat driver and list goes on but if you happen to fluke it right they can be easy to catch

Rodney,

Gee putting bait on the hook really does the trick. Pity no-one told me that earlier.
